How to Protect USB Drive Against Formatting and Deletion of Data?

[Bisujaksha]

Hello,
I have a 1GB USB drive on which are stored all my important Data. Since these files are private, I want to protect them against formatting and deletions of files (someone else). Knowing that this key walk on multiple PCs, I wonder if it is a way (software) to effectively perform this task.Please Give Some Good Suggestion Thanks

Hello , You select all your important files and you do Right click ===> Property ==> And you select the "Read Only" in the category attribute.
So your file may not be deleted or be changed .. As against the level of its formatting I do not know ... Make a backup somewhere at worst (on a computer or another usb key as they say two precautions are better than one)

How to Password protect USB drive?

There are two methods to protect data in Flash Drive / External drives with Folder Lock.

• Plug-in your USB drive to your computer and then run Folder Lock and click the 'New' tab. Click the browse button next to Locker path field and select the USB path from the file browser and choose a file name below. Now set and confirm a new password for this locker and then click 'Add files & folders' button to add the files and folders you want protected and then click the 'Encrypt Now' button.
  
• Alternatively, you can also click 'Edit My Locker' and select 'Move Locker' option after logging into Folder Lock. You can then select the USB drive path from the drive selection option to move your Locker to the USB drive.

After performing any of the above two actions, Folder Lock will prompt you with a Portable Security option. If you choose 'Yes', Folder Lock will create an AutoPlay password protection for this drive. An executable FL USB.exe will run automatically whenever you plug-in your USB drive to any computer, asking you the Locker path and correct password to open your Lockers.

This means, you do not need to install Folder Lock again when you move your USB drive from one computer to another. If you have AutoPlay feature disabled, you can run FL USB.exe directly to open your Lockers in your portable drive through any computer. This feature is only available in the full version of Folder Lock.

On a computer where Folder Lock is installed, you can simply plug in the USB Drive and double click the Locker or browse the Locker Path and enter your password to get full access to your files and folders protected inside the Locker.
